J.2 Deep in the Human Heart

Deep, deep in the human heart
The fire of justice burns:
A vision of a world renewed
Through radical concerns.

Chorus:
As Christians we are called
To set the captive free,
To overthrow the evil powers
And end hypocrisy.

This, this is our task today:
To build a world of peace,
A world of justice, freedom, truth
Where kindness will increase.

Free, free us from selfishness,
Help us at last to share,
To banish hunger from the earth,
Let every person care.

Give, give us the grace to work
As one community,
To bring new hope and fuller life
To all humanity.

Lord, taking the step of faith,
We leave the past behind
And move into the future’s world
With open heart and mind.
